Source: Mavs and guard Yogi Ferrell "are on the 1-yard line" of getting a deal done to keep him in Dallas. His $2.9 million qualifying offer was rescinded, making Ferrell a free agent, but Mavs intend to re-sign him.

Ferrell, who played collegiately at Indiana, wasn’t selected in the 2016 draft. He played 10 games for the Nets before he was signed by the Mavericks in January 2017.

The Mavericks finished 2017-18 with a 24-58 record and missed the playoffs for a second straight season. They signed DeAndre Jordan to a one-year contract, worth close to $24.1 million, when free agency began July 1.
